dc.description.abstractObjective: To assess the prevalence among Sickle cell disease (SCD) affected individuals emphasizing the neglected health challenges in various tribes.Methods: Cross-sectional, observational study was conducted during the district residency program for 9 mo. The data has been collected from the record room of patients diagnosed with Sickle cell Anemia. Statistical analysis was done using Microsoft Excel.Results: A total of 295 patients’ data revealed demographic skew toward Jhabua (50%), with Sickle cell anemia diagnosed at the mean age of 23±3.9. Most patients (72.3%) were Hindu, with Bhil and Bhilaya tribes having higher frequencies. Symptoms varied; 94% had Sickle cell trait, 16.3% had sickle cell disease, and 60% experienced painful crises. Treatment included prophylactic care for all, 37.57% required blood transfusions and 29.7% were on hydroxyurea.Conclusion: The study underscores the significant SCD burden and the need for heightened awareness and targeted interventions in socio-economically disadvantaged tribal regions to mitigate the impact of SCD.en_US
